Is the United Nations racist? (thehindu.com)

I would quickly admit there is a Euro-centricity of the UN that is hard to deny. But I don't think it's so much about race these days as it is about economic status. Poor nations have to face the same bias that poor people do in society in order to be represented. Basically they have to become a thorn in the side of the wealthy. The wealthier nations feel that they have more on the line and should in turn have more control. Does this sound like a familiar debate? It's the same one raging throughout all societies right now.
